THURSDAY.
Thursday was perfect day. The sun was
bright and the air mild and balmy. The at
tendance was large, but not equal TO that
usually seen on the third day of the fair.
The diversions ON Thursday consisted of
the representation of an an attack by Indians
upon an emigrant wagon on the plains, in
which there was q good deal of firing. The
emigrants, being reinforced by cowboys,
drove off their assailants, amid mnch enthu-
siasm and excitement.
Another scene was sham attack by In
dams upon mail-stage. The Indians cap
tured the stage, robbed the passengers, and
were in turn pursued by cowboys, captured
and made to restore the stolen property.

the Seashore," in which Frank Forwood 6
